THE cow BOY.

He came from the land OF the setting sun,
This blazing star Of the first degree;
A cowboy bold, ali ripe for fun,
The home Of the tenderfoot to see.
His eyes were black and his hair was long;
The rim OF his hat was soft and wide
And his gorgeous pants were Of buckskin strong
With wonderful frnges adown the side.
His muslang was kinky as ever you saw;
To the martial jinglins Of his spurs
The small boy listened with breathless awe;
He wos terror to city ours.
A pistol Was thrust through his leathern belt,
And knife reps,sed in his horseman's boot,
Every inch king he doubtless felt;
A Western hero, right on the shoot!
He ogled the ladies day by day
As he gracefully ambled to take the air;
Oh, he WIS daisy, this cowboy gay,
One Of The brave who deserve the fair.
What sensitive maids In his mind, were seen
Hopelessfy pinins for him in vain,
What scafps OF swans, with jealousy green,
Adorned this conQuering lord OF the plainl
He welcomed the tanglefoot, hot and strong;
And terrible oaths this creature swore!
For deadly conflict he seemed to long,
His thirst was excessive for human gore,
Till he stirred UP gentleman mild and slim,
Who Welded daily bloodless pen,
But the sand" was there, all the same, in him
And he went for the braggart right there and
then.
He reached for that cowboys ringets long,
And pulled him down from his wild mustang
He wiped tho street with the buckskins strong
While Vie spurs resounded with merry
olang-
And he left him wreck. did this man OF might
With the broadcloth suit and hat Of silk;
And tho small boy seOicd at the iuckless wight
As he nmpe.l TO the lookup weak as milk.
No more with the cattle the cowboy dwells
His pistol and knife in the pawn-shop rest;
The niustang tipcart vile propels
He Will gallon no more in the far South
west.
And his master has studied his lesson well.
Let roogns and rowdies Of this take note.
'Tis the staggering towards who boast and
SWELL
And man may be brave in broadcloth coat.

AN INDIAN STORY.
Sol Taylor's Narrow Escape From.
Torture and Death.

came West when was seventeen
years OF age (said cid Sol Taylor Of
Georgetown. Colorado, the other day),
and now I'm bit over sixty. You can
tiggcr that up and see how long I've
been diminishing with Indians, griz-
lilies, panthcrs, rattleSnakes, and the
other pesky yarmints of mountain,
plain and prairie. There hasn't been
an Indian war for the last half century
that ! haven't had hand in, and |
reckon I've had rs many stand-up
fights on my own hook as any scout or
hunter you can name. have been
captured and put to the torture twice,
and been captured and got away with
out torture three or four times. In
times of peace have lived with the
Pawneas. kiowas, Apaches, Sioux.
Cheyennes, and Blackfcct, and in times
of war | have fought all these tribes.
Mebbe I am, therefore, a purity good
Judge Of Indian natur', and when you
ask me which tribe of redskins has the
most honor Ireply that l never yet saw
IN Indian whom | would trust rod.
The only reason that some of en- have
served the Government as scouts and
traitors is because they happened to
hate their own kind just then a little
wuss than they did the white man.
However. you want some of my own
adventures, and ! will give you one.
Before the days of railroads in the
West man who was spilin' for an In
dian fight could get it within rile-shot
of Fort Kearney. and this state of af-
fairs continued up to 1866 and later.
Tie last time | was captured was on
the Smoky Hill fork of the Kansas
river, and it was while the railroad
was being pushed across the State of
Kansas. Arailroad through the Indian
country meant goodbye to game and
goodbye to the Indian. The rcdshin
realized this as forciblv as the white
man, and he was on hand to fight the

different places. each cut being deep
enough to be painful, but none of them
very serious. The gush of blood soon
turned the man into horrible looking
object, and several times he would
have tainted had they not had water at

screamed so loud and long that his
voice was now entirely gone, and the
only sound he could utter was II groan.
